Well, the grey and black can be a bit hurtful on the eyes at times, so i have made up a userstyle for the forums. The css file and instructions are avalible here
Screenshot there too.

aww, why didn't u take a screenie of the mod board :(
i've always wanted to know if there's a secret board for special people and what is written in it.

(damn, what's up with my english today LOL)

Looks good paradox, but the blue schema is a tad bit punchy on my eyes.  Personally, anything on a white background seems to relax my eyes, whereas, this grey stuff just hurts the "grey stuffing" above and behind them.

I now tremulous is supposed to be scary and all, but dark backgrounds just make my eyes shake, nothing more.

Paradox

Anyone who wants to can edit their eyes, i mean the colors in the template.

Thanks, I think it looks great!  There are a few things I would tweak slightly:
- "imput" is a typo
- too much contrast between row1 and row2
- too little contrast between followed links and background on topic list
- annoying gray line at left and right edges of spacer row
- missing styles for composition page - subject line, tag buttons and help row are still gray

Paradox

Yea, in the next release, im going to add some rounded edges, and some more contrast.

I finished the newest release, and have updated the file.
Features/fixes:
  • Every page styled now
  • Grey bar on separator gone
  • Color scheme modified to be more uniform
  • Rounded corners and tabs
  • Visited topic links get a dot before them, are emphasized, and get striken through, but the strike dissapears on hover.
What's next?
  • Working on new logo that matches theme, put in place by combination greasemonkey script
Now you can also get it from userstyles in either greasemonkey or stylish format, since they have fixed their ruby code:
Stylish page

you know what you should do?
the link for the huge ass pic saying "Tremulous" in the left top corner should be linked to the tremulous site. not tremulous forum site.

damn why are really geeky pages allways that dark? I Like dark letter smor than white on dark ground :-/

though i like the style of visited threads :o)

Jet

is this a post for what color hurts? and which doesn't? ok this is useless.

Foobicam

No, it's a post about a style sheet that anyone can use as a template to set the colors that they like.  I wasn't aware of the Style Firefox plugin (I'm not a plugin junkie, the only one I had before was adblock), so I really appreciate Paradox's contribution.
